Wow! Everyone has to start somewhere.....
I have always avoided the triathlon because I am just not a great swimmer. As a matter of fact, I'm really not a very good swimmer!
But...completing a triathlon has been on my 'bucket list' for quite a while so I finally took the "plunge". I love a good challenge and, since I have been training for the 2010 Veterans National Wrestling Tournament, I thought I was probably in good enough shape to get to the finish line without too much difficulty.
The Harvest Thunder is a 'sprint triathlon'. A shorter than usual tri to give all of us mortals an opportunity to experience the "thrill of victory and the agony of defeat".
What I came out of the event with was a tremendous amount of respect for those who excel at this 'grueling', life altering event.
More about my personal experience in another post. Suffice to say that I will compete in other events......but I will definitely prepare differently for the next one.
